1
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Why was it she eating pussy at this episode? The bosses? Anything?

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: But why did we have to go through that or

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: hook up with one of those girls and then get

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: sued ver sexual flossment?

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Like that's a great PLOTLINEU.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: She's sheen ami no ma ma yo?

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: What is your child trauma?

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: I am.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 2: Your's going down the floor like.

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 4: Round.

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: Welcome to Like a Virgin, the show where we give

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: yesterday's pop culture today's takes.

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm Rose DomU and I'm Fran Toronto.

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so how do we feel about the eight and

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: of it all? Because I you know, I wasn't sure

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: if the show was trying to make it look like

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: they were moving too fast or trying to romanticize how

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: fast they were moving, But either way, I thought they

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: had really good chemistry and it bred is like believable

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: to me of two people picking up a relationship for

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: the third time and really just speed running it.

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent real, right. The realism of the show,

23
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: I think is sometimes strong suit and more often than

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: not the thing that makes it really boring, you know,

25
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: like Aiden coming into the fold right now and Carrie

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: calling them immediately a wei so to speak. As Sema said,

27
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: She's like, look, you're a we now, which I think

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: was a really effective line, like this is a real

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: quarrel that real friends go through. And I was like,

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: everything about this feels earned. My issue with aid In

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: and other plot loin plot points like him PLoP plot loins.

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Let's say that everything about Aiden and what happened, I'm

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: so fried. Can you even hear? You can kind of

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: hear in my voice that I I lost it a

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: little throat, Yeah, I lost it during all invasion, I

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: kind of lout giving.

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: I actually think.

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: It's even better, Like I think I sound a little swaffed,

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: like a little you know what I mean, like just swuffed.

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: Well you sound clock here, Oh wow wow now we okay, okay,

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 4: But much like what you said, like what you said

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: was extremely unpredictable, and I just I wish the show

43
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: were unpredictable.

44
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Everything about Aiden in the show can be predicted. I

45
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: could write now how he's going to be written off,

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: what's going to happen between him and Carry, what the

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: core tensions are going to be. I can figure out,

48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: like based on what Miranda is doing at the HRC,

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: I can predict what's going to happen there. I feel

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: like Charlotte getting a job back in gallery. Stuff that's

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: extremely that we could have predicted that Slash probably did

52
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: predict that. Like all of these things are things that

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: we we know enough about the characters to actually really

54
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: lay out the plotline. Same thing with Jada is like

55
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: we knew how they were gonna go.

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: You predicted the animal rescue shelter.

57
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Well that I could never have predicted.

58
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, is like this is your unpredictable Yeah,

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: at least this week, it only existed in service of

60
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: Carrie's plot line, Like there were no solo scenes of

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: cha except for that one where they were wandering around

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: Carrie's apartment, which I did kind of enjoy that because

63
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: and I almost wanted more of it of Chae being.

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Like who the fuck is this woman? Yeah that I'm

65
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: weird randomly friends with why at her apartment.

66
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: And like Carriere correcting people's like for their pronoun usage,

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god, Like again, it's like

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: a good ally for dummies, like a ward.

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: But like I don't I don't understand why that you

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: have such a problem with that though, because like it's

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: good that she corrected.

72
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: It is good. It's just why is this in the scene. So, like,

73
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: if it's in the scene, if the writers have put

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: the intent to put this in the scene, that means

75
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: they are trying to say something about pronoun courtesy and

76
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: how to address people properly in a workplace. And that

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. And this show, why would anybody care? As

78
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: a Sex and the City viewer, it has nothing to

79
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 2: do with the Sex and the City.

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: Scene about pronouns, you know.

81
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I think that line actually like

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: mostly existed for the joke of Aiden lying into the

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: neighbor and saying they them, which I think actually was

84
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: a funny payoff for that moment.

85
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was that funny. But if it

86
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: was just for that joke, like, that's fine. I I

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm rounding up to a point here about just predictability,

88
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: And for me, it's like predictability and also the kind

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: of tea the pedantic nature that I'm talking about, Like

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: like in the original Sex and the City, the show

91
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: can be very teaserly, right, Like, the show can be

92
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: very like these things are good and these these things

93
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: are bad, and this is what the show believes like

94
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: the show had core tenants that it kind of ran

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: by and believed in. And I think that it's okay

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: for a show to believe in something or to be

97
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: a kind of how to blah blah blah for dummies.

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: But in the previous iteration of the show, the things

99
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: it was teaching about were sex, intimacy, misogyny, like how

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: to make it in a certain kind of workplace as

101
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: a woman, how to be messy while also like sticking

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: the landing. Like those are things that I think made

103
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: the show really exciting. And the unpredictable elements were the sex, right,

104
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: I feel like we just don't have the unpredictable sexual

105
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: rockecy grompy kind of elements of in just like that.

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: Like when Sima was in bed with that guy and

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: he pulled out a penis pump, I was like, this

108
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: is the show, Like I never could have predicted that

109
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: this guy would have pulled out a penis pump, right.

110
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Even though that's a plotline from like nineteen ninety YXT.

111
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes it's fine, but it's but it still could

112
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: not have been predicted. And that is the show to me,

113
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: That's what the show I should be doing.

114
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: I get what you mean. And I do think the

115
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: moment where this episode succeeded the most and where it

116
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: felt the most like the show I wanted it to be,

117
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: was also the moment that I could have predicted the least,

118
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: which was Carrie asking Miranda that question was big, a

119
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: big mistake? Like that was something I didn't see coming

120
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: and like, should essentially be like the central question of

121
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: this season, Carrie is entire relationship with Aiden and should

122
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: fan outwards to impact the other character, you know, like

123
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: of It is really exciting to have a storyline in

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: which this woman whose husband died like gets back together

125
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: with an old love and then thinks like, oh, was

126
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: my whole life a mistake? Should I just have been

127
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: with this guy all along? Like that is a worthwhile

128
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: question for this show to ponder, and I do wish

129
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: it was more interested in that and less interested in,

130
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, Miranda trying to be a good ally or

131
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck?

132
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't care about big so I

133
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: care less about that question, but I agree it would

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: be way more interesting than whatever it is they are

135
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: spending time on. I just think that it's too it's

136
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: still too self helpy, like the self helpy quality to

137
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: the large majority of the plotlines in every episode really

138
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: bums me out. I do still feel like it's very predictable.

139
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: And Carrie reconciling her relationship with Aiden now, the rekindling

140
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: with Now looks like in the context of Big is

141
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: still trodden territory.

142
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: To me.

143
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: It's like in the first scene when she's laying in

144
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: bed with Aiden and she like propped up, she like

145
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: puts her feet on his chest, which is so hot.

146
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: I like wanted to be like I just wanted to

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: be like I wanted to Yes, I wanted to be

148
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: like Aaron, put your whole put her whole Fern, Aaron,

149
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: whatever the fuck his name is, Aiden, Aiden, put her

150
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: whole foot in your mouth, in your mouth. I was like,

151
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: if he if he like put his head down, put

152
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: his entire mouth over her foot, but you feet listen.

153
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: Sucked.

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: Sucked, sucked. And then the rest of the episode is

155
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: Carrie being like, I can't believe Big suck my toes.

156
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: That is an episode of TV. I would be on

157
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: the edge of my seat f I.

158
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,400
